Emerging technologies and methodologies for pest control, such as nanotechnology, biopesticides, and novel application techniques, are highlighted as part of the journal's commitment to advancing pest management science.
Trending and Emerging
- Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Practices:
An increasing number of studies focus on sustainable pest management practices, including organic farming, the use of biopesticides, and ecological approaches that reduce reliance on chemical inputs. - Impact of Climate Change on Pest Dynamics:
Research examining how climate change affects pest populations, their distribution, and management strategies is gaining prominence, reflecting the urgent need to adapt to changing environmental conditions. - Invasive Pest Species Management:
With the rise of invasive pests globally, there is a growing body of research focused on understanding and managing these species, emphasizing the need for effective control strategies. - Advancements in Biotechnology:
The use of genetic and biotechnological methods for pest management, including the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene editing technologies, is increasingly featured in recent publications. - Stakeholder Perspectives and Adoption of IPM:
Studies exploring farmer perceptions, knowledge, and behaviors regarding IPM adoption are trending, providing insights into the social dimensions of pest management and the barriers to implementing sustainable practices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemical Pesticides:
Research focused solely on conventional synthetic pesticides is decreasing as the emphasis shifts towards integrated and ecological approaches to pest management. - Single-Species Pest Studies:
There is a waning interest in studies that focus exclusively on single species of pests without considering broader ecological interactions or integrated management strategies. - Chemical Resistance Mechanisms:
While resistance is a critical topic, studies solely detailing resistance mechanisms without exploring practical management solutions are less frequently published.
